To reiterate: the issue isn’t “a few seconds” time loss. It’s a rapid and considerable time loss on 32xx watches that are a couple years old or older. It results in a superlative time keeper quickly becoming unsuperlative. Many Rolex adherents (myself included) became such because Rolex movements (31xx series) generally displayed incredibly accurate timekeeping well in excess of recommended service intervals (10+ years).

I’ve been wearing 2022 BLRO since January 2023. All good so far & I own a time grapher too.

Thanks for the reply. I have a 5 year old BLNR that runs verifiably well. I had a BLRO that was just short of 5 yrs when I traded, it ran well up to then also. So, that's two that I own or owned for a while that ran good. I have also had 7 take a dump. Looking back over my data it seems pretty consistent, to my collection anyway, that the issue starts +/- around the 2yr mark - with the exception of an LV sub, that started to show signs of decay within a year. 7 is a hard pill to swallow. For the record, I just picked up a March 24 unworn TT GRNR, so I am willing to give this another go, plus I'm super curious to see if the any change has been made in current production.

I have a 2018 CHNR. It’s only ever been worn a handful of times and has kept perfect time, but its collective run time since purchase can’t be more than a couple of weeks at most.
When I finally start wearing it proper then it will be interesting to see how it performs.

Having said all that, I’m sure Rolex developed a new part for the 32xx to rectify the problem. Cant remember what that modified part is but seem to recall it might be the pinion the hands attach to? Maybe someone with more knowledge can chime in.

Maybe I should post this on the main thread, but the biggest question I've had for a while now. There is enough evidence provided by both actual watchmakers and owners that a certain percentage of these watches have issues. Some develop them within 1-2 years.

There are also a number of credible owners that have worn these 32xx watches 5+ years, some daily, without the issue and it's still keeping superlative time.

Does this possibly suggest there's some huge factor involving wearing habits and/or conditions that may contribute to premature failure that hasn't been explored deeply enough?
